A
married couple was in a terrible
accident where the woman’s face was
severely burned.
The doctor
told the husband that they couldn’t graft the skin from her
body,
so the husband offered to donate some of his own skin.
However,
the only skin on his body that the doctor found suitable would
have
to come from his rear end.
The husband and wife agreed that
they would tell no one about where the
skin came from, and requested
that the doctor also honor their secret.
After all, this was a very
delicate matter.
After the surgery was completed, everyone was
astounded at the woman’s
new beauty. She looked more beautiful
than she ever had before! All her
friends and relatives just went on
and on about her youthful beauty!
One day, she was alone with
her husband, and she was overcome with
emotion at his sacrifice.
She said, „Dear, I just want to thank you for everything you d
id for
me. There is no way I could ever repay you.“
„My
darling,“ he replied,“ think nothing of it. I get all the thanks
I
need every time I see your mother kiss you on the cheek.“
